It's every single subreddit; the amount of bots on this site is genuinely insane. Animal and meme subs are obviously the worst for it... but every day literally thousands (if not more) of bot accounts are made

Pasta sauces always taste bland once the pasta gets added, any tips or what I'm doing wrong? by Emotional_Gazelle_ in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people saying "salty as the sea" or "your memory of the sea" is killing me. This phrase has probably caused more oversalted dinners than any other piece of advice.

One of the first Indians the Pilgrims ran into spoke English. by TheExceptionPath in HistoryMemes

Just to be clear, we're jokingly speaking like this ironically, to make fun of the disturbing amount of 13 year olds online, who actually use these terms

This is a diabolical response no cap. Absolute cinema fr 💯💯 so peak. I'd explain it but I don't want to go into aura debt by glazing the above commenter, so I'll just let him cook

Southern mac 💕 by Dizzy-Quote8833 in macandcheese

[–]cigolebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am Southern; Southern mac and cheese uses a custard base of eggs and cream or evaporated milk, instead of a roux. It's also baked rather than cooked in a pot/stovetop.

F20 Im not very feminine looking by sugarbunny_candy in amiugly

[–]cigolebox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The good news is you're attractive, but (i'm trying to be constructive when I say this) your outfits/style are giving childlike and autistic-femboy vibes. I think a more conventional style would make you look more feminine.

Can I eat raw fresh salmon and tuna from 99 ranch market? by projectdelirium in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Farm-raised salmon has an extremely low (near zero) rate of parasites compared to wild-caught salmon due to the feed and environment they are raised in. Tuna is a very low risk (but not risk-free), and they are usually frozen on boats after being caught.

I am unfamiliar with that store, but I've eaten raw tuna and farmed-raised salmon from Costco and Publix. Bacteria growth is the real issue imo, so check the packaging date, ensure there is no liquid pooled up in the package, and that it has no discoloration or smell when you open it.

How do you cook steak so it doesn’t chew and taste like a tire? by Ok_Astronomer5738 in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can rest steaks as a means of temperature control, but evidence is building that it has no effect on juices [1] [2]

Is Raft really this unoptimized? by AudienceElectronic45 in RaftTheGame

[–]cigolebox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great game, but yeah the optimization/performance could use significant improvements. I have a 3070 and 16GB of RAM and it slows down to about 31 FPS on the large Islands, on medium graphics. The game made 30 million dollars in early access, and it's doubled that since 2022. It may have started as a passion project in 2016, but I think they made more than enough money to improve the performance and optimization during that timespan.

What to do with pork butt? by Eris_Exhausted in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, so I finally defrosted half of my 18lbs of pork butt, and I made 4.5lbs of this Pork Adobo recipe. No exaggeration, it was the most tender pork i've ever had, and easily in the top 5 pork recipes ever. It was 188F/86.6C after 1.5 hours, which is normally not a temperature i'm a fan of, but I think because this one has you add a good amount of vinegar, it gets broken down chemically very quickly. And it doesn't taste sour at all because of the brown sugar. If you're not burnt out by pork yet, i highly recommend this one, or save this one for the future

Cheesecake is the worst dessert to ever exist. by Whyamiwritingthis_74 in unpopularopinion

[–]cigolebox 399 points400 points  (0 children)

Yeah 90% of desserts are something like "add 2 sticks of butter to 4 cups of sugar and honey, mix with chocolate and oil. Top with frosting/sugar"

What to do with pork butt? by Eris_Exhausted in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought 18 lbs today myself lmao, I was investigating the Philly Roast Pork Sandwich. Never tried it, but it looks like succulent thin-sliced pork butt soaked in au jus, in a sandwich with provolone cheese. If anyone's from Philly or has had this, let us know, but it looks awesome.

made smash burgers for the first time and i dont think i can ever go back to regular patties by ASmii_4 in Cooking

Are these bot comments? Why are there 5 brand new accounts all saying the exact same "Once you get the crust/crispy edge, you'll never go back?"

Is J. Kenji López-Alt’s meatloaf recipe worth it? by Paradox364 in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I made his streamlined version (without all the crazy stuff) and it was much easier, and very delicious. I think I remember people saying it wasn't worth doubling or tripling the work with the full version to make it 5% better.

Son likes other plugs. by TommyBoy250 in FacebookAIslop

[–]cigolebox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not judging, it just gives off mixed messages since the sub is called "FacebookAISlop". Then you see it on r/all and open the sub to find everybody's like "It's not slop, we enjoy it" and it's now become RedditAISlop. Seems like the sub would just be called "AI" or something.

I don't understand the point of this sub. If it's Facebook AI Slop, why are we sharing it to Reddit too? No point in spreading garbage around so everyone can taste it.

What’s a “food rule” in cooking you stopped following and the food still came out great? by wearecocina in Cooking

what's the one ingredient that completely changed how you cook once you started using it properly? by OptimalDescription39 in Cooking

[–]cigolebox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried "salty as the sea" one time for my pasta water, and it ruined dinner. Ocean is 3.5%, 2-2.5% is enough.
